Very sharp 1/43s

Do you remember the dramatic finish where Jacky Ickx driving this GT40 managed to beat the Porsche 908 driven by Hermann by a few seconds ?

Love the 512M - do you have the '73 312PB as well?

I've got the #6 GT40 - it looks great with my Ebbro #64 908L

I don't have the Altaya '73 312PB, should be easy to find though... As per the 908, I only have the old Solido :

I'd love to replace it by the Ebbro, not easy to find in France !

That is a model I must get - along with the winning Matra.

Superb.

Here is the last issue from Altaya's 24 heures du Mans collection by Ixo.

This Alfa 33/2 (V8 - 2 litres) finished at the 4th place in 1968 with Ignazio Giunti and Nanni Galli.

That Alfa is lovely. I've seen some 33.3s from LM 1970 on sale by Chinese ebayers - do you know if the 1970 cars are intended for the Altaya series?

I just know that next issue is a '80 Lancia Beta Monte Carlo...

New from Altaya/Ixo, this Lancia Beta retired at the 2nd hour of 1980 Le Mans, it was driven by Hans Heyer, the other drivers, Bernard Darniche and Teo Fabi didn't get a chance to drive it !

started out collecting 1/18 but there is so much more available in 1/43 it blows me away. thanks for sharing all the great pics guys.

Make the switch to 1/43, you won't regret it. 1/18 takes up too much space anyway. :)

New from Altaya/Ixo, the most beautiful Le Mans car ever ?

Ludovico Scarfiotti/Mike Sparkes 2nd place at le Mans 1967
